Alan Jackson

MA, PhD, Cambridge.

I have taught on the French BA programme at Christ Church since 2005.  I am responsible for the teaching of translation, cinema, contemporary French literature, and francophone literature and history.

My doctoral research was devoted to the writer and critic Maurice Blanchot (1907-2003).  My research interests are still in the field of contemporary and twentieth-century French literature and literary theory.  For the last five years I have been particularly interested in the contemporary writer Richard Millet.  I have written about his work and translated two of his novels.
